Let's Survive Zafehouse: Diaries!

((Accidents do happen, which was also why even to 'punish' Dist I didn't send him to direct suicide. I just set him up in an uncertain situation where he might triumph and might not, because I like scrappy underdogs, and with Cao dead I didn't want to fuck everyone over for certain by losing them yet another group member.

That said, if a player knows in advance they won't be around much, puppeting by the GM or stating general goals has, as Ana said, worked out very well in the past - that's pretty much why Road Kill was beaten. As long as the players settle on how they want it, it should be okay. Generally speaking for first-timers, though, who haven't played the game, the GM input might be needed while they learn the ropes. And cave in and buy the game.)

Hey, hey, by no means take me a thermometer for the mood of the masses! I actually love the LP, I just didn't think my situation out before I volunteered. I can barely participate in MY OWN LP sometimes, let alone the 1 or 2 of other peoples I put input into. I'm a special case.

I think you're doing great and the LP's super fun and well handled. And all the explanations you've noted make complete sense.

Everything's cool! I'm just going to sit down and watch like a good little peanut gallery. xD

But but but! It's so fun to watch first-timers flail around blindly with no idea what to do~

And I was actually hoping that the more experienced people would try to help the less experienced ones, since we have quite a few people here who actually play the game, right? In fact, I think I actively encouraged spectators to try and advise the people playing, right? In the very first post? xD

All right then, if you're absolutely sure. :3

((In which case you may want to refer to I Wanna Be A Part of ZD to see why everyone were being coy when you went musician XD))

(That said, Spar made it to the end unlike a certain member of the group, soooo)

((Considering my track record I doubt they'd think I meant well which I don't. And I thought with Sharp there they'd be okay. Considering that's the sort of judgements I make, WOULD ANYONE TRUST MY ADVICE? Should I even trust my own? XD))

It would be fun though, to see people trying to figure out what advice to trust and what to take with a grain of salt. (Or in Ozzo/Mary's case, an entire mountain of salt.)

((Javert never gives bad advice on PURPOSE, at least, he just has questionable judgement and likes setting zombies on fire. But, if I were pretending to be him so I'd seem trustworthy and give advice that SEEMED benign...))

I've been doing that as the voice of inexperience. xD

Figured it out on my own before long. xD

All right, enough of this farce. Let's get back to zombies on helicopters!



So we can try to repair that helicopter, I guess, if we manage to find enough parts...



...OR we could win by routing out that stupid Catholic priest biker gang and burning their stupid misogynistic society to the ground! What do you say, folks?!



Wow, Ayumu's being rather badass lately, hasn't she? Researching helicopter engineering, investigating zombies, switching genders at whim...



Yeah, it's almost as if the devs couldn't figure out any other way to make the endgame climactic but to send horde after horde of psychic zombies at us.



Snark's taken over the role of lead scientist now that Javert's busy guarding City Hall while his four teammates write the constitution, though how Link is participating with his... shall we say less-than-average linguistic skills is a mystery to me.

Anyway, time for another tech vote! Signalling (easier to recruit survivors), or fertilizer (farms will produce +1 food)? Our current stats:

(I'm sure they can parse Link by now. Zelda does seem to understand him in the games. Anyway, Javert, how is guard duty coming along?)
Do you believe lemon tea or green tea is better suited for the occassion?
(... I see you're on top of things. Carry on.)
I think I burned my coattails on the stove again.
(... yes. Totally on top of things. And your vote?)
Signalling. I may also need some needle and thread for my coat.

...Is he becoming a cloudcukoolander?

I guess he always was, a little bit. Javert's world only overlaps with ours. It's not quite the same place.

((His is the more orderly, he'd maintain. The burning of his coattails is something his book self does tend to do a lot, though. I just have fun imagining he'd have to be pretty domestic to be able to take care of himself and repair that poor old coat whenever he walks by a fireplace.))

Burn the assholes!

See! And they doubted me just because I didn't have a degree! Or formal training! Or lab experience! Or actual scientific knowledge! THE FOOLS!

Oh, and since I am clearly an agricultural genius, I vote for fertilizer!

I'm worried about leaving Ditzy to sleep here all alone... What if more zombies come in? I'm gonna stay here and build some traps until the others return or Ditzy wakes up.

(Not experimental traps.
Also whoops, sorry. Think I went to bed right before the others made their moves. :B)

I'm so proud.

EDIT: Because apparently I now have a thing.

Shelby Darlene /Amanohashi and SongBird /Song are breaching the house above.
vayaviya /Dist is resting. After he wakes, he'll investigate the hotel unless the others are breaching somewhere in which case he'll join in.
CuteCat /Pipsqueak is trapping his current location.


In the main bedroom... Song shot a zombie's head with a recoilless bolt action rifle.
In the kitchen... Amanohashi shot a zombie's head with a bladed handgun.
In the kitchen... Amanohashi shot a zombie's head with a bladed handgun.

Back at the other place, Dist is still sleeping, despite somehow being lucid enough to grab snacks and eat them. CuteCat and vayaviya don't have to give me actions for now, because I have you trapping and resting respectively, but since Dist will probably wake up in a turn or two, you might still want to give me some actions in preparation for that.



Despite the 50% searched stat, you still haven't technically searched this place yet.



Uh oh. Good thing you separated the goldfish from Dist and Pipsqueak. Hey Song, maybe you should consider barricading your light bulb in case your team mates suddenly realize that you're a puny little goldfish that they can just squash with their bare hands... :D

((I am starting to see why Pips is setting guillotines... BAM. Sushi time.))

Signalling and BURN DEM MYSOGYNISTIC MOFOS TO THE GROUND

That said,

DK, I love you. So much.

Hey, Ditzy, aren't you awake yet? I was thinking we could follow Amano and Song once you've woken up. Making guillotines gets boring pretty quickly, so wake up soon...

(I'm glad you like it ^^. It was one of those I-cannot-fall-asleep-my-brain-is-making-up-weird-things ideas, so I wasn't sure how well it'd transfer to reality.)

Since Snark's work is giving us some extra food already, I'd prefer that we focus on signalling.

Way to go, Ayumu!

((She is so proud! ;_;))

She is just that adorable.

edit: for reference

One thing at a time guys. Once we finish with the constitution then Its time to take the fight to the Last Judgement gang.

But yes, I do agree with taking them out - and then repairing the helicopter so we can rescue others.

Fixed that for you, Soundly. ;)

*what happens if you leave Pip to fend for himself a while*

((You've made us into what we hate! D: ))

OH MY GOD THAT IS BEAUTIFUL AND CUTE AND -- HNNNG

*insert stock Nietzche quote parody here*

Yeah, that's pretty adorable <3

That wasn't the best idea... Now we are seperated and can't fight as a team. Oh well, I'll watch for zombies.
(You know what is sad? Amano has the best relationships.)

And the one you're most at risk with is the one with the worst relationshops. XD

(Well, Pip is completely insane so of course he'd like Amano. It's one of the clearer signs of his craziness.)

Hey, they got to watch me flounder around the first two rounds. I'm going to take some sadistic pleasure amusement out of this.

How can anyone dislike something as cute as Song?



song is apparently a wooper stuffed inside a lightbulb in my headcanon
IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE

Song?... The police fishy? That's 'cause I don't like police officers. They'd always go and get in the way of our experiments... and they shot at me, too... and they kept killing my cyborgs and Titans and ...! I hate them! It's their fault I got separated from Faust and ended up here all alone!

And then I get stuck with one, too... *Huff* Stupid police ...

((Maybe it's lucky Rebuild at this rate might conclude before Pips has a chance to answer to JAVERT...))

Interesting.

*snores*
*mumbles something about agreeing to this course of action*
*drools on the pile of snacks on which he's been sleeping*

((I love how Dist has made being useless edging towards obstructive into an ART form.))

I may or may not have reclaimed the large graveyard knowing that this would happen. And speaking of the Zombie King's followers...



What the hell, Waffles?! Actually, it kind of makes sense - if we let a dog and cat help build the very foundations of our society, why can't zombies have rights too?



Mwahahaha! The light assault rifle gives +2 to Combat too! Having so many zombie slaves on duty at the police station really paid off this time. Sorry, Javert. Not really.

And last but not least, we finished our signalling research in two days!



Which means it's time again for another tech vote! Radio (chance of survivors automatically joining us) or fertilizer (farms give +1 food)?

Stupid Dog

Stupid Dog.
